Spooky season is nearly here.

And Peacock, Universal’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform, has just unveiled its Halloween programming line-up, full of tricks and treats from the studio’s back catalog, as well as two new series (“Teacup” and “Hysteria!”) for some fresh scares.

In 2022 and ’23, there was at least one big Blumhouse movie that simultaneously debuted on Peacock — in ’22, it was David Gordon Green’s trilogy-capping “Halloween Ends” and last year, it was the video game adaptation “Five Nights at Freddy’s”. This year doesn’t have anything quite like that, but it’s still a powerful collection of titles for every viewer.

The Sept. 1 batch includes classics like “Bride of Frankenstein,” “It Came From Outer Space” and “Werewolf of London;” 1980s favorites like “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” “The Funhouse” and “The Thing;” along with more modern hits like the original “Candyman,” Jordan Peele’s “Us” and several entries in the “Saw” franchise.

Watch the Trailer for Y2K: "On the last night of 1999, two high school juniors crash a New Years Eve party, only to find themselves fighting for their lives in this dial-up disaster comedy."

Directed by Kyle Mooney Written by Kyle Mooney & Evan Winter Produced by Evan Winter, Jonah Hill, Matt Dines, Alison Goodwin, Chris Storer, Cooper Wehde

Oscar-nominated documentarian Pedro Kos dips his toes into the horror genre with In Our Blood, but it's hardly a departure. Kos' choice to stylize In Our Blood as an in-progress faux-doc keys into his intimate perspective on storytelling. The real-world location of Las Cruces, New Mexico and its impoverished inhabitants is shown unaltered, since Kos strives to give a voice to the voiceless. Terror is second-fiddle to depicting marginalized American communities, which heavily favors unfolding drama over traditional ghoulish excitement. Kos's humanitarian instincts drive In Our Blood as he examines Las Cruces under a microscope, but not everyone will appreciate the film's "substance over scares" imbalance.

Josh Lucas is engaged to meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo, with the actor announcing the news Saturday.

Lucas, whose recent credits include Yellowstone and Palm Royale, took to Instagram to share footage of Ruffalo getting emotional while wearing her ring as musicians performed for the couple in the background. According to their posts, Lucas and Ruffalo have been together since the fall of 2022.

“For the last 2 years in Every Way and Every Day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper and more whole,” Lucas captioned his post. “I am so grateful and thrilled she said ‘Yes.’ I Way love you Brianna. & Thank You to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.”

Ruffalo, who is a meteorologist and reporter for ABC7 in Los Angeles, also shared footage of the happy couple to commemorate the occasion.

In James DeMonaco's 2013 dystopian horror movie "The Purge," Ethan Hawke plays a wealthy seller of high-tech home security systems. He lives in a bourgeois neighborhood and all his rich neighbors have outfitted their homes with Hawke's wares. They plan on employing their security soon, as tonight is Purge Night. In the future of "The Purge," one night a year is designated to be law-free. American citizens are legally permitted to commit whatever wanton acts of assault, destruction, and murder they want, from sundown to sunrise. Having purged their hostility, the idea is that they'll go back to being upstanding citizens in the morning.

The premise is tantalizing, although the 2013 original takes place mostly inside the Hawke character's home, turning a fun idea into a pretty rote home invasion thriller. The film was made for a scant $3 million but would earn over $91 million, making it a runaway hit. To date,...

Santa Monica, CA – Keep your new best friend forever when Imaginary arrives on Electronic Sell-Through May 7 and Blu-ray™ (+ DVD and Digital), and DVD from Lionsgate. Imaginary stars Chauncey the Bear, Blumhouse’s latest horror icon, now ready to play in your imagination at home! But remember, Chauncey is not imaginary, and not your friend. Alongside Chauncey are his human castmates DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion), Tom Payne (“The Walking Dead”), Taegen Burns (“The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers”), Pyper Braun (Desperation Road), Betty Buckley (Carrie), Matthew Sato (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”), and Veronica Falcón (“Ozark”).

When Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter, Alice, finds a stuffed bear named Chauncey. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize that Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.

Veronica Falcon’s captivating performance in Queen of the South put the Mexican-born actress on the Hollywood map. Since then the actress has had steady roles such as in Ozark’s final season, The Forever Purge, A Million Miles Away and a funny cameo in Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson. CineMovie chats with Falcon about the limited roles for women of her age group, and horror films such as her recent film, Imaginary.

Frank Grillo, who played a tough villain in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is asking Marvel’s co-president, Louis D’Esposito, for a favor. He wants his character, Crossbones, back in the Marvel movies before he gets too old. The 58-year-old knows time is ticking, so he’s keen to jump back into the role while he still can.

This post contains spoilers for "The Purge" franchise.

2013's "The Purge" introduced an intriguing premise: in a near-future dystopia, all crime is legal for 12 hours once a year, allowing people to indulge in their most violent instincts. Written and directed by James DeMonaco, "The Purge" takes the home-invasion route, where a wealthy family unit finds themselves cornered by a bloodthirsty group of murderers itching to commit crimes without any consequences. The overwhelming success enjoyed by the film contributed to the making of an expanding franchise, with later entries retaining this core concept while introducing new socio-political facets to enliven their narratives.

While it is perfectly acceptable to watch the "Purge" franchise by the order of release date, following this format introduces some chronological issues, as later entries serve as prequels or expand the universe with some ties to the film franchise. Although we will be focusing exclusively on the movies,...

‘Tis the season for holiday films. This year, Susie Abromeit is stepping into the spirit playing an interior designer tasked with a career-changing assignment — a Christmas charity ball — that requires working with a difficult, but handsome, stranger.

Designing Christmas With You is the latest project from Abromeit’s four-picture deal with Great American Family, which was announced in the fall of 2021. She produces and stars alongside Liam McIntyre.

The actress, who had a breakout role in Jessica Jones, has done a string of rom-coms for the network following appearances in King Richard and The Forever Purge. What’s different about a holiday film? Mostly, the snow.

“It was really well-made soap that looked like snow,” Abromeit notes. “The Christmas aspect is always dialed up. It’s all about the hot cocoa, the trees and the decorations, good feelings, the nostalgia.”

Ahead of the movie’s Dec. 16 release, Abromeit spoke with...

The brothers are the only surviving members of a family that dies crossing the border between Mexico and the United States.

The CEO of Blumhouse just offered an exciting update about the future of Purge 6.

The Purge series first began in 2013 with a simple concept: a family needed to survive the one night of the year when all crime was legal, including murder. The franchise went on to spawn a total of five films and a television series exploring the popular idea.

The latest film, The Forever Purge, was originally billed as the final story in the series. It ended with the United States of America locked in a never-ending Purge and its protagonists just barely escaped to Mexico.

Black Panther star Tenoch Huerta has been accused of sexual assault by musician María Elena Ríos.

The allegations were revealed after Rios accused Poder Prieto, an organization that aims to fight racism in the entertainment industry, of protecting Huerta. Huerta is one of the many artists who are members of the organization.

Ríos is a former member and, according to Poder Prieto, initially accused them of not paying her for her work. Additionally, she claims that Poder Prieto uploaded an episode of El Feisbuk de la Malinche, which features the musician and never asked for her consent.

“No le podemos pagar algo que No es producción nuestra (We cannot pay you something that is Not our production),” Poder Prieto tweeted.

In response to the organization’s tweet, Ríos called Huerta a sexual predator. A fan then asked if Huerta sexually assaulted the saxophonist, to which she said, “Así es y...

Tenoch Huerta, who gained mainstream fame last year playing Namor in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, is exiting production on the forthcoming Netflix film, “Fiesta en la Madriguera”, amid allegations of sexual assault.

Huerta announced the news of his departure in a statement to Et on Wednesday.

“Given the impact of the recent false statements by María Elena Ríos and the damage they have caused, I have no choice but to withdraw from participating in the film ‘Fiesta en la Madriguera’,” Huerta claimed in his statement. “It is with great sadness that I do this, but I cannot allow her actions to harm not only me, but also the work of dozens of talented and hard-working people involved in the project.”

“My focus now is simple: continue the process of restoring my reputation,” Huerta concluded.

Netflix first announced the project in May, with director Manolo Caro helming production on a screenplay...

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta has dropped out of Netflix’s upcoming film Fiesta en la Madriguera following an accusation of sexual assault from musician and activist María Elena Ríos. He previously has denied those claims.

In a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday, Huerta said, “Given the impact of the recent false statements by María Elena Ríos and the damage they have caused, I have no choice but to withdraw from participating in the film Fiesta en la Madriguera.’

“It is with great sadness that I do this, but I cannot allow her actions to harm not only me, but also the work of dozens of talented and hard-working people involved in the project,” the statement continued. “My focus now is simple: continue the process of restoring my reputation.”

Filmmaker Manolo Caro is directing the feature, with Huerta announced last month as its star. It was filming this month in Guadalajara,...

Over the weekend, saxophonist María Elena Ríos accused Tenoch Huerta of sexual assault, alleging the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actor is a “sexual predator.” Now, in a statement posted to his Instagram Story, Huerta denied the allegations, calling them “irresponsible and false” and claimed that he and Ríos maintained a consensual relationship a year ago.

“A false and completely unsubstantiated accusation about me has spread like wildfire,” he wrote in a statement. “I cannot let it go unchallenged any longer.”

Ríos made her initial accusations on Twitter after Poder Prieto...

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta has denied a sexual assault accusation by musician and activist María Elena Ríos.

Over the weekend, Ríos posted a series of tweets calling Huerta a “violator” and “sexual predator” while accusing him of sexually assaulting her. “It’s very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and the abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved around the world for playing a character in a movie such as Tenoch Huerta,” she wrote.

In a statement released on Monday, Huerta called the allegation “false and completely unsubstantiated,” and claimed that he and Ríos had an “entirely consensual” relationship that lasted “several months.”

“About a year ago, I dated Elena for several months,” Huerta said. “Throughout it was a loving, warm and mutually supportive relationship. After it ended, however, Elena began to misrepresent our interactions both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends.

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” actor Tenoch Huerta released a statement on Instagram on Monday denying the accusations of sexual assault made against him by Mexican musician and activist María Elena Ríos, with whom he had a relationship for several months.

Ríos made the accusations after Poder Prieto, an anti-racism collective of actors and entertainment workers of which Huerta is a member, shared an episode of a podcast Ríos appeared on.

Ríos, a former member of Poder Prieto, accused the organization of making her work for free without compensating her and protecting Huerta, whom she called a “sexual predator” and responded in the affirmative when asked by another Twitter user if Huerta assaulted her. She later shared screenshots of hateful messages sent to her after she made her claims.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever star Tenoch Huerta is denying an accusation of sexual assault.

On Saturday, musician and activist María Elena Ríos accused the actor of being a “sexual predator” in a post on social media and followed it up by stating that the actor had sexually assaulted her. “It’s very difficult to talk about the emotional abuse and the abuse of power of a sexual predator who is loved around the world for playing a character in a movie such as Tenoch Huerta,” she wrote.

On Monday, Huerta released a lengthy statement denying the claims, calling them “false and completely unsubstantiated.” He said that roughly a year ago he and Ríos had a consensual relationship that lasted several months.

After the trainwreck that was Cocaine Shark and with the spectre of Jurassic Shark 3: Seavenge looming over me, The Black Demon, or any other shark film for that matter, may not have been an obvious choice. But this one caught my attention when it was announced and the idea of a finned fear film with enough of a budget to give it some bite was hard to say no to.

Paul Sturges is the safety officer for Nixon Oil, a corporate name that does not exactly inspire confidence. He has been sent to Baja to inspect one of the company’s rigs and has brought his family along. He may have to work but his wife Ines, daughter, Audrey, and son Tommy can have a vacation.

The Forever Purge had been marketed as the franchise’s *final* movie, but creator James DeMonaco eventually walked back those statements with the suggestion that he may actually have one more Purge story in the tank. The plan, last we heard? To bring Frank Grillo back as Leo Barnes, his character from The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.

“I think I’m going to write the next one, and if the audience wants it, we’ll do it,” DeMonaco told Daily Dead back in 2021. “Again, I think I came up with a new way to flip the whole thing upside down, and it’ll be five years after [The Forever Purge], but it takes America in a whole new direction and I think it would be a very interesting place to explore.”

DeMonaco explains to Variety in a new update this week that he finished the script “about eight months ago.

'The Purge 6' script has already been written.Franchise creator James DeMonaco has finished the script for the upcoming sixth instalment in the horror franchise - which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year - as Frank Grillo returns as Leo Barnes, while the movie will see how life continues after the collapse of the United States.Revealing he wrote the script eight months ago, DeMonaco told Variety: "It’s not completely different than previous movies, but it’s a new America that we’re entering into.“In ‘The Forever Purge,’ America kind of collapsed, and it’s really kind of mapped itself according to different ideologies. The states are based on sexuality, religion and ideology."So we’ve broken apart and the state of discord is at its worst. We enter 'The Purge' in that world.”The franchise has sparked five movies and a two-season TV series thus far,...

Almost two years have gone by since Purge franchise creator James DeMonaco let it be known that he had an idea for The Purge 6 that would get him back into the director’s chair (after handing The First Purge and The Forever Purge over to other directors) and see Frank Grillo reprising the role of Leo Barnes, the character he played in The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year. But as time goes by, it was seeming less likely that this sixth Purge movie was going to happen. Earlier this year, Grillo indicated the shot-callers at Universal and Blumhouse weren’t sure they were going to move forward with this one. But in a new interview with Variety, DeMonaco seems confident that The Purge 6 is going to happen.

Today, June 7th, actually marks the tenth anniversary of the release of The Purge, which is why Variety got in contact with DeMonaco.

Over five low-budget box office hits and a two-season TV series, “The Purge” saga — which portrays a not-too-distant-future America where all crimes, including murder, are legal for one night a year in order to satiate a bloodthirsty public — swelled into a $450 million franchise. But the first chapter was almost never made.

While the film became the defining hit of writer and director James DeMonaco’s career, he says the script was passed over “40-50 times” for being seen as “too anti-American.”

“I had this little, strange, dark indictment of American gun culture,” he said. “I hate guns. To me, the scariest thing in the world would be a night where everyone was armed and it was legal to use these firearms. To me, there was nothing scarier than that notion.”

Ultimately, the film got the attention of super-producer Jason Blum, who “saw something bigger in the conceit,” said DeMonaco. Soon,...

Exclusive: Danny Trejo (Machete) and Veronica Falcón (Ozark) have boarded American Underdog, an indie drama set in the world of Mma that is now in production in Chicago. The film, marking the feature directorial debut of Peruvian-American filmmaker Gustavo Martin, will also star Vishy Ayyar and Andrew Gray.

Pic’s protagonist is Jai (Ayyar), an ex-con on a soulful path wrestling with personal redemption when outside circumstances pit him in the ring against the fierce opponent, Marcus (Gray). Trejo portrays Dennis, who reluctantly comes out of retirement to train his former student, while Falcón steps into the role of Marcella, a local gym owner and community legend shepherding Jai in his return to fighting.

A production of Peach Partners, in association with Mulberry Films, and MxW Ventures, American Underdog will also star Suleka Mathew (Your Honor), Taylor Treadwell (Big Little Lies), Omi Vaidya (3 Idiots), Ranjita Chakravarty (Never Have I Ever...

The horror movie to go see in theaters right now is Evil Dead Rise, but a brand new horror movie is being unleashed in theaters this week to give the franchise a little genre competition.

And it’s one of Seven new horror movies releasing this week…

Here’s all the new horror releasing April 25 – April 30, 2023!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

After scaring up $168 million worldwide, Scream VI just arrived for purchase on Digital Today, and Bloody Disgusting has also learned this week that Scream VI will be unleashed on 4K Ultra HD SteelBook, on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 11, 2023.

Meagan wrote in her review of Scream VI, “This slasher sequel lets a ruthless Ghostface loose in the city, slicing up an intense, flawless entry that continues the streak of insightful introspection while escalating the thrills, kills, humor, and heart to a breathless degree.

It has long been the strict modus operandi of Blumhouse -- the celebrated horror studio behind low-budget hits like "Insidious," "The Purge," "Paranormal Activity," and "The Black Phone" -- to keep their film budgets in the $3 million to $5 million range. At a 2015 producer's panel, studio founder Jason Blum explained that those figures reflect what the studio could recoup, should a film fail to get a wide release. If the film isn't picked up, he explained, the studio at least doesn't lose much. If it is, the studio will continue to be in the black. 

In recent years, Blum's budgets have increased slightly. The 2020 film "Freaky" ran a price tag of $6 million, and "The Invisible Man" was $7 million. Other, more recognizable releases like "Halloween Kills," "The Black Phone," and "The Forever Purge" cost about $18 million each. As modern blockbusters go, however, these numbers are still far below the average studio film.

Back in 2018, Steve Alten’s The Meg finally came to the big screen, but not in the form that we had originally been promised. The big screen Megalodon horror movie was released with a PG-13 rating – much to the chagrin of star Jason Statham – leaving fans hungry for a shark attack movie with a bit more bite. And it looks like we’re getting one this year.

From Rambo: Last Blood director Adrian Grünberg, The Black Demon will be released in theaters on April 28, and we’ve learned today that it’s Rated “R” for “Some grisly images.”

Music to our ears. Stay tuned for our review, coming soon!

From Rambo: Last Blood director Adrian Grünberg, The Black Demon is said to be based on a Mexican legend, and it’s coming to theaters this April. A bit later than expected, however.

The Black Demon will now release in theaters on April 28, 2023, Bloody Disgusting has learned this week. Previously, the film had been set for theatrical release on April 21, 2023.

So what’s the latest on all that? Frank Grillo provides a fresh update to Empire Magazine in their February 2023 issue,...

The Forever Purge (pick up a copy Here), the fifth film in the Purge franchise, was said to be the final chapter in the series when it was first announced… but while doing press for the film last year, Purge creator James DeMonaco revealed that he had come up with an idea for one more sequel. One that would see Frank Grillo reprising the role of Leo Barnes from The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year. Then Grillo confirmed that he and DeMonaco were “committed” to making The Purge 6 together. A year and a half later, it doesn’t look like Universal has officially given the project a greenlight yet, but during an interview with Empire magazine (with thanks to Screen Rant for sharing the excerpt), Grillo said that he and DeMonaco are still working on pushing The Purge 6 forward toward production.

Grillo said, “I had an idea in...

Ten months have gone by since we saw a first look image from Rambo: Last Blood (watch the extended cut of that Here) director Adrian Grunberg‘s shark thriller The Black Demon – and that was actually the last time we heard anything about the movie, so I had forgotten about it. Thankfully, our friends at Bloody Disgusting were able to dig up the information that The Black Demon has a theatrical release date of April 21, 2023. Which will, unfortunately, put it in direct competition with the new Evil Dead movie, Evil Dead Rise.

Evil Dead Rise was originally going to be an HBO Max release, but it went over so well with test screening audiences that the decision was made to send it to theatres. So now it’s on a collision course with The Black Demon. Bloody Disgusting was also able to find out that The Black Demon will be...

From Rambo: Last Blood director Adrian Grünberg, The Black Demon is said to be based on a Mexican legend, and today we’ve got the first word about the film’s 2023 release.

The Black Demon will first release in theaters on April 21, 2023.

“When oilman Paul Sturges takes his family to Bahia Negra, the crown jewel of Baja and the site of Paul’s best-performing rig, the vibrant Mexican coastal town he once knew has mysteriously crumbled. In the decrepit ghost town, the last inhabitants tell Paul the offshore platform has awoken ‘El Demonio.’ Scared to be left alone, the family follows Paul out to the platform and just after they get on, the man and boat that risked bringing them is ferociously attacked by a massive black shark. This shark is unlike any other creature; a shark of legend,...

After months of tepid to lukewarm box office showings, Marvel Studios releases its third feature film of 2022 this weekend: “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” It might be an even bigger and more important release for Marvel and Disney than the sequels “Dr. Strange into the Multiverse of Madness” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” earlier in the year.

The big onus hanging over the Ryan Coogler-directed sequel is the 2020 death of Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular “Black Panther” in the 2018 hit that won three Oscars after becoming the fifth (now sixth) highest-grossing movie of all time. “Wakanda Forever” does deal with the absence of Boseman’s T’Challa, but Coogler wisely put more focus on some of the other returning cast/characters, including Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda, Danai Gurira’s Okoye and Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia – basically, the women of Wakanda.

In Ryan Coogler's upcoming superhero movie "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," the title country will see itself invaded by a species of undersea humanoids led by their king, Namor. Also known as the Sub-Mariner in Marvel comics, Namor may be the highest-profile superhero character to have yet to appear in a live-action feature film. Throughout the character's history, Namor has functioned as both hero and villain, sometimes using his powers of flight and super strength to help the Fantastic Four, but just as often harming humanity for their role in polluting the seas. In the comics, the character is sternly principled and doesn't suffer fools gladly. 

Namor will be played by Tenoch Huerta, the Mexican actor who previously appeared in dozens of Mexican features including "Sin Nombre," and "Tigers Are Not Afraid," as well as a few American films like "The Forever Purge." He also played the famed real-life luchador Blue Demon,...

When Marvel Studios’ Black Panther released in 2018, it redefined superhero films in many ways. Apart from introducing a completely new world and culture through the film, the creators also left a mark through its powerful, and much loved villain. While the first film had Michael B Jordan’s skillfully clever antagonist Erik ‘Killmonger’ Stevens, the upcoming sequel takes its villain-game a notch higher. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will see the Marvel legend Namor as Wakanda’s new adversary, with a completely new water world ready for fans to explore.

Playing the role of this dynamic nemesis is Mexican actor Lenoch Huerta (‘The Forever Purge’ and ‘Tigers Are Not Afraid’) who opens up about his much anticipated Namor’s character who rules over Talocan instead of Atlantis. Namor has resurfaced to cause chaos after T’Challa signed off the first film by revealing Wakanda to the world.

“You can take Atlantis from Greek myth,...

We’re going to need more ten-gallon hats, folks! Jena Malone, Alejandro Edda, Tatanka Means, and Michael Rooker are joining the cast of Kevin Costner’s Western epic Horizon. They join an ensemble cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower, Luke Wilson, and Thomas Haden Church.

Kevin Costner’s Horizon will “span 15 years in the settlement of America’s Western frontier, and focus on both the settlers as well as the Indigenous groups that first occupied the land.” Horizon will be Kevin Costner’s first time directing a movie since Open Range in 2003. He also directed The Postman and Dances with Wolves, the latter of which earned him an Academy Award for Best Director.

Costner plans to split Horizon up into four movies. Initially, Costner sold the idea as an “event television movie,” but that is no longer the case. While speaking with Variety in June, Costner...
